[Verse 1]
A            D
Dooley was a good ole man
   A               E
He lived below the mill
A              D
Dooley had two daughters
      A     E      A
And a forty-gallon still
 
A                   D
One gal watched the boiler
    A                 E
The other watched the spout
    A               D
And mama corked the bottles
         A      E           A
When ole Dooley fetched 'em out
 
[Chorus]
A
Dooley, slippin' up the holler
D
Dooley, try to make a dollar
A
 Dooley, give me a swaller
         E                A
And I'll pay you back someday

[Verse 2]
    A         D
The revenuers came for him
  A                   E
A-slippin' though the woods
A             D
Dooley kept behind 'em all
    A     E        A
And never lost his goods
 
A            D
Dooley was a trader
     A              E
When into town he'd come
A            D
Sugar by the bushel
      A      E      A
And molasses by the drum
 
[Chorus]
A
Dooley, slippin' up the holler
D
Dooley, try to make a dollar
A
 Dooley, give me a swaller
         E                A
And I'll pay you back someday

[Verse 3]
A          D
I remember very well
    A              E
The day ole Dooley died
    A                 D
The women folk looked sorry
        A         E         A
And the men stood round and cried
 
    A               D
Now Dooley's on the mountain
   A               E
He lies there all alone
     A           D
They put a jug beside him
      A      E       A
And a barrel for his stone
 
[Chorus]
A
Dooley, slippin' up the holler
D
Dooley, try to make a dollar
A
 Dooley, give me a swaller
         E                A
And I'll pay you back someday
         E                A
And I'll pay you back someday
